Hello,
I am planning to buy a Sapphire R9 280x Vapor-X which requires two 8 pin connectors. On the other hand, the PSU I currently have (FSP Epsilon 600W) has one 6 pin and one 6+2 pin connector.
Therefore, can you please confirm if I can use a adapter to connect my PSU to the GPU? I believe there are two options, a) use a 6 pin to 8 pin adapter and b) use a molex to 8 pin adapter.
If either of the above is indeed possible, will there be any adverse effects on my system / components when using the adapters?
Below is the PSU I currently have:
If all fails then I guess I may need to get a new PSU, something like a Corsair CX600 perhaps?
Thanks.
Appreciate your help and support.
P.S. Please let me know if I need to remove the above link etc.
